Good evening :)
I think it’s shame of humanity that in 21st century every 5 seconds one human being dies from hunger. In world are so much people which are wasting and trowing food when at the same time, for example, children in Africa don’t have water and any food. In my opinion reason for world hunger is that some parts of the world are undeveloped. We certainly need to change something. People can send money for their food, for building homes to stop diseases.
However, some people don’t care for that and that is something which we need to change, people need to know in what conditions people are living.
World hunger is the problem which we need to solve.
Here is link for organisation Mary’s Meals where you can donate money online and 10$ would be enough for one child education in whole year.

The culture of organic food is to be carried out because it is very beneficial to human life even if the costs are quite high. There should be agricultural policies that prevent the use of certain pesticides and harmful treatments to humans not only to animals.

hello! My name is Eleanora, i’ve 17 years old and I live in the north of Italy. World hunger is a serious problem, many people in the past have moved to solve it but the success rate was very low because people do not have the food to be able to survive are many. The difference between one and the other part of the world is really great because in underdeveloped countries or continents, the percentage of daily food is very low while in developed countries such as Europe and the food is really this cause, in some cases, even the problem of excess food, thus obesity.

The problem of food is very common in underdeveloped countries with small but especially in developed countries the problem is the amount of food that is thrown away, but also the quality of food is important. In my country, the quality of food is great because everyone grows fruit and vegetables without treatment. I grow fruit and vegetables without treatments and genuine mainly because the products are not imported and do not make me thousands of kilometers.For the quality of food is important at times we are not aware of eating and shoddy products by paying a high price.

From what I have read and learned, the food problem does not center around that fact that we don’t grow enough food, but rather we have a problem distributing it. It’s true that most of the arable land in the world is already in production, so simply growing more food is not really an option. The problem is getting the food from where it is grown to where people most need it. Not everyone lives in an area that is suitable for growing food, and unfortunately many of these places (such as Africa) are unable to afford the not only monetary demands of transporting food. Simply donating foods to these places is not a sustainable option. There has to be another way.
Another troubling thing is the amount of hungry people in the US! Being an industrialized and regarded as fairly wealthy country, it is hard to fathom how many people in the US still report hunger. What’s up with that? Food is one of the most basic human needs. This is an issue that we, as the most advanced species thus far, should be able to conquer.

Very insightful. What do you think about using GMO's to combat the global food crisis? -
Sophie N. - USA May 14, 2013
Thank you, Erin A. Well I'm certainly no expert, but I am personally of the belief that GMO's could be effective in solving the food crisis; however, they are liable to create more problems, such as corporal domination. There is no perfect, solution, but it's certainly a start!

Hello everyone.My name is Iva and I am from Croatia.I have always wondered why is there so much hunger in the world.I found out that in the world there are 870 million hungry people.I was shocked.One out of every eight people is going hungry and one in three children is underweight.It is so sad.We need to do something about it.Every year,out English teacher and pupils bake muffins to collect money.It is a good idea and you should do it.I decided to help people who are in need so almost every day I go shopping and buy food for them.I hope that I will be able to do something more for hungry people in the future.

You are right, I completely agree with you! That's a big problem but so many people don't want to do anything. We should help more and tell people about it! I hope more people will notice that and try help.

Hello everyone. My name is Jelena and I come from a little country Croatia. In the past I never really took some time to think about hunger in the World. I think that it is because in my country we do not have such big problems with it. One day I was on the Internet and suddenly saw a shocking fact. I read that the USA families throw away so much food that they could feed all Africa three times. In that moment my heart skipped a beat so I’m inviting you all to the UNICEF organization to help little kids to survive the hunger. Our English teacher and her pupils bake muffins every year to collect money. If you like the idea you should start something too and help the World of tomorrow.

Hello jelena. I agree with what you said, unfortunately there are many people who have too much food and do not realize that there's so many other people who are starving and don't make even a minimal effort to help them. You could start to do a little 'sacrifices to be able to also give them the opportunity to be fed.

Hello, I’m Jacklin and I am in 6th grade. I believe that people should try to help other people who are starving. Some people say, “Oh,they’re starving. I don’t care.” But those people don’t know what it feels like! Instead of taking leftover foods that you aren’t sure if you really want to eat, give it to somebody that is starving on the streets. Mind as well give it, than waste it.

I disagree with you Jacklin, because giving food to people to the street is a little dangerous. I think composting might be a better choice -
Janice C-USA May 2, 2013
I don't entirely agree with you Jordan, because composting takes several years, so you can donate the food to local food banks or other places collecting food to give to people who don't have enough food. -
Jason Hodin May 3, 2013
there are many organizations that accept food donations if you feel that streets in your town are unsafe to give away food as Jacklin suggests.

Hi my name is Sean and I am a 6th grader. Whenever we hear about hunger or people starving we just think how terrible and we don’t do anything about it! To solve the hunger problem I believe we need a better distribution of food. Why not donate some of your food to somebody who actually needs it? A cash donation to buy more food, why not? These are things we can do to help solve this problem. Also since obesity is such a huge problem in our country, why can’t we eat less (thus losing weight) and give that food to the people who need it? Another solution could be the government monitoring how much food you can buy, and then deciding how much you get, based on hobbies, number of people in your family, and a variety of other factors. Think about it, do we really need all that food?

I think you're right. We DON'T need all that food. Donate to the kids in Africa who need food and water more than we do. You can also donate to a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen -
Trina C-USA May 2, 2013
Sean, you bring up a good point. Many people do know that there are others in this world and do nothing about it. You also have to consider this: People are greedy. People are greedy, and want to keep their food, riches, wealth to themselves. Once this problem stops and more people in this world are caring, then we can actually have more people making food and money donations to help feed those without.

Janice C-USA May 2, 2013
Yes, and we can donate the “left over food” (that's not expired yet) to food banks.

Hi my name is Yazmin Montes de Oca, Im from Mr Reinhardt 6th period class @ Oakland High School. And I think People should realize that not everyone is lucky enough to have food every day. If we compare our country to others the U.S. has the highest rate of obesity, when other countries barely have food for every one on that country. for a example Africa’s children are dying from hunger and I bet that’s not the only country with that problem. So people think how lucky you are to have food every day.

James E-USA May 2, 2013
I'm James from California, and I'm in 6th grade. I think that we are being too greedy, and we should take all the extra food we don't really need and instead give to it to those starving people. Though it would take a little time to adjust, we would barely even notice a difference after a few months. If we just cut down our food consumption by 10%, we would be lowering our carbon footprint, as well as feeding people who are much more needy. People already donate money, clean water, and clothes. So why not food? -
Samuel W-USA May 2, 2013
I agree with you James. Food is a necessity to daily life. Maybe, to help feed hungry, there should be more places to get food from. For example, we could have more soup kitchens. As Yazmin stated, Americans have the highest rate of obesity. Though in the U.S. there are still hungry people on the streets, and a much larger number of people in Africa. To lower our obesity rate and feed the hungry, we could create a policy where in resturants people can only order a certain amount of food. Shipping food to another place for the more needy in a place not capable of growing food will produce a lot of pollution, so we could build a green house or a farm imitating the needs of the plants to grow food for the hungry. It would be harder to give meat but they would at least be getting their dietary needs. We need to take action, so join the fight against world hunger.
